Eric Wagner (24.4.1959)
Associated Acts: Blackfinger, Lid, Trouble, The Skull
Vocal Range B♭1 - F♯5
Voice Type: ehhhh fine a baritone. thanks sawyer
{Vocal Summary}Known For His Time In American Doom Metal Band "Trouble", Eric has been going on strong for over 35 years and doesn't seem to be slowing down. In the first albums of trouble he often used his higher range more than his lower range, and often left the lower area of his voice as spoken bits in songs or a backing vocal. During The 90's He started to use his lower area more and more and was seen not trying to go over B♭4, often different then in the 80's where he was regularly going to the upper fourth/lower 5th octave. After that he left trouble for some time and joined the band Lid who he released an album with. The album showcased his lows as he was seen to become more and more confident with it, as his highs we're becoming infrequently used more and more. In the 2000's Eric lows become more powerful and boomy down to D2, and even B♭1. His highs we're starting to be used in backing vocals, a contrast to his early years with Trouble. Eric Poses a strong baritone timbre with some resonance and strength down to D2, and highs up to B♭4/ Now and days. While we haven't heard any music in the last 3 years, Eric has made a staple in the doom metal genre and has inspired many musicians and metalheads alike to keep on doing what they love and still have that for music.
